New Starters for Reception Class September 2020
This month we welcomed our new children to The Cambridge Primary School.
Our staff a have been working very hard to ensure that their transition to ‘big school’ is a very positive experience. This included a Parent Information meeting on Zoom, a pupil & parent visit and a virtual story time on Zoom. We have a vision that will provide an excellent learning environment for all of our children.
Pod Life!
With a majority of children back at our school, life is a bit different now. The children are in pods of 15, following government guidelines and risk assessments to ensure that everyone stays safe and happy.
We asked some pupils how they feel about coming back to school after the lockdown. Their response was:
“I like it when I meet my friend again and we play together” Vivaan, age 5 “I love it because I like playing and colouring with my friends” Ellianna, age 5
More children are choosing to walk, scooter and cycle to school. And our temporary scooter/cycle area in
our library has been filling up nicely every morning. The children have been encouraged to use school scooters as part of their day. With the lovely weather, the children have been busy outside renewing their friendships and settling into to their pods. The school’s Transition Day was a great success with the children meeting their new teachers for their next journey into Year 1 and Year 2.
Beans & Mini Beasts
The children picking the broad beans that they have been busy growing from the school fruit and vegetable patch.
The patch which also includes gooseberries, strawberries and rhubarb was started this year with help from members of staff to show the children how easy it is to grow fruit and vegetables and they could also taste their very own crop! As the beans were ready for picking the children noticed that there were mini beasts who were feeding off of the vegetables.
